“If you can quit, then
quit. If you can't quit, you're a writer.”― R.A. Salvatore
“Life is,
in fact, a battle. Evil is insolent and strong; beauty enchanting, but rare;
goodness very apt to be weak; folly very apt to be defiant; wickedness to carry
the day; imbeciles to be in great places, people of sense in small, and mankind
generally unhappy. But the world as it stands is no narrow illusion, no
phantasm, no evil dream of the night; we wake up to it, forever and ever; and
we can neither forget it nor deny it nor dispense with it.” Theory of Fiction: Henry James
“The crazy creatives are
the creatives who never go completely mad. They aren't so easily disheartened
by the seemingly endless amounts of scrutiny that creative individuals tend to
receive because they, insanity, are the
ones who feed off of opposition and negative feedback and manage to continue
along with a healthy ambition. It is the crazy that teaches us to use our gifts
wisely and own all the attackers.”― Criss Jami, Diotima, Battery, Electric
Personality
“If you're waiting until
you feel talented enough to make it, you'll never make it.”― Criss Jami
“In essence, if we want to
direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It's not what
we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently.”― Anthony
Robbins
“You know what I did after
I wrote my first novel? I shut up and wrote twenty-three more."―
Michael Connelly
